Low carb Tuscan chicken recipe
Creamy Tuscan chicken is the perfect weeknight dinner recipe since it’s easy to make, comes together quickly and is made using one pan. Classic Italian flavors of sundried tomatoes, garlic and parmesan cheese are combined with spinach and chicken breasts to make up this creamy low carb dish. It’s delicious served just as it is made, but you should try it over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete meal even your kids will love!

Pan fry chicken
In a large skillet, add the olive oil and cook the chicken over medium heat, turning once (about 10-12 minutes per side). May need to cover the skillet if you have thick chicken breast. Heat until internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, cream, Parmesan cheese and basil. Continue to stir until cheese has melted. Stir in arrowroot powder if using to thicken up the mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer.

I really loved this creamy keto Tuscan chicken and how the lemon-pepper seasoning and sun-dried tomatoes gave it such a rich flavor. Is there a KetoFocus cookbook that includes more recipes like this with heavy cream and Parmesan-based sauces? I’d love to have a collection of similar low carb meals.
Hi David! Thanks so much for your kind words—I’m so glad you enjoyed the creamy keto Tuscan chicken! If you’re looking for more recipes with that rich, comforting flavor (think heavy cream, Parmesan, and lots of protein), you’re in luck! There’s actually a KetoFocus cookbook available for pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/Protein-Packed-Low-Carb-High-Protein-Longevity/dp/1628605642. It’s packed with protein-focused, low-carb recipes designed with longevity in mind. Hope it gives you lots of tasty inspiration! 😊
This dish turned out really well for my low carb dinner. I added a bit more spinach and the flavors still balanced nicely. I was also curious about the serving size and it seems like yes, one serving is about half a chicken breast.
This was delicious! I did make a mistake and grabbed a jar of ‘roasted red peppers’ instead of sun dried tomatoes at the grocery. Not sure how that happened bc i wrote sun dried tomates on my list. Didn’t even realize til I opened the jar! Thought I ruined it. But everyone loved it!!
Cooked this tonight for my son and served over some soy based spaghetti from Aldi. Was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Thank you for sharing the recipe
Wow this recipe is amazing, my son tasted and started to eat it and said can you make it for dinner too, I didn’t have fresh onions and put onion flakes and still come out amazing
My husband, the fussy former restauranteur, loved this recipe! It was a great intro to Keto and keeping him motivated. We will do this again.
So I’m not a fan of the OG Tuscan Chicken…this is so much better!!! I doubled everything but left out the arrowroot bc it didn’t really need any thickening once I added the cheese. So easy and I put this over some cauliflower rice and made a side of lemon broccoli, def a keeper!
I’m the type that usually changes something about a recipe but this is perfect the way it is!
What would change if I wanted to double this?
I would keep the arrowroot powder amount the same (1 teaspoon) but you should be able to just double all the other ingredients.
This was so good! My entire family, including our picky 15 year old, loved it.
Oh my, this is so good. Even my non-keto family and kids loved it.
I am new to keto and new to cooking with a recipe, I love this so much! It’s super easy to make. I made it 2 days in a row! Love it!!!
Just made this the other night and nit even two bites in, both my husband and teenage son told me to never lose this recipe and have already asked me to make it again next week.
Thank you so much for not only a fantastic recipe, but one that comes together very quickly. I cooked the chicken in my InstantPot while starting on remaining ingredients.
I have a question, if the recipe calls for 2 chicken breast and the recipe nutrients says 4 servings for the 6 net carbs, does that mean a serving for that carb amount is a half a breast? Low Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe
Yes, you can add more chicken if you want more protein.
